为了支持橡树岭国家实验室计划的外骨骼项目，构建了一种独特的多轴足力/扭矩传感器，并对其进行了测试，该传感器具有临床步态分析等生物医学应用。这种多轴力传感器具有挑战性的方面是，它必须符合人类脚的弯曲，能承受高冲击载荷，具有高度的力敏感度，穿着者感觉舒适，集成到军用风格的靴子中，测量脚球或脚后跟与地面接触时对人类脚的力，对正负载荷都做出反应，并具有较低的整体高度和重量。本文描述了这种独特的传感器的设计和测试。
To support an Oak Ridge National Laboratory programs exoskeleton project, a unique multi-axis foot force/torque sensor was constructed and tested that has biomedical application such as clinical gait analysis. The challenging aspect of this multi-axis force sensor is that it had to conform to the bending of the human foot, withstand high impact loads, have high force sensitivity, feel comfortable to the human wearer, be integrated into a military style boot, measure the forces on the human foot when either the ball or the heel of the foot is in contact with the ground, respond to both positive and negative loading and have a low overall height and weight. This paper describes the design and testing of this unique sensor.
